My faithful 79 westie has begun to grind when I go from first to
second gear, I can feel the grind through the stick shift, sigh.  Anyone
have any suggestions as to any sort of extra lubricant to put in the
transmission to stop/reduce this?  I'd kind of like to get around a
transmission rebuilt for a while...

        (looks like the list has been down for a while--good to have you
all back!)
